Tools of the Trade.....Repost for Terri
Well, every once in a while it pays to listen to input from those of you who are caring to visit my little blog from time to time. Terri informed me earlier today that she had difficulty making out what was in the image of my old tools that I had posted below. On top of that, my "in house art critic" agreed with her, so who am I to argue with 2 very smart women? Here is my repost of the image below, and hopefully it will be a lot easier for folks to view and enjoy somewhat. Maybe it is me who is fading into history, and not the tools so much.....at any rate, for what it is worth, here it is again. Cheers everyone.....

Tools of the Trade.....
Over the years, I have enjoyed many many DIY (do it yourself) projects that involved some fairly minor renovations, and some quite major. When I was just a boy, I had been involved in building 3 homes by the time I was 16 years old. My work life started when I was 12, and I got a job at a local BP service station, pumping gas, checking oil levels, and cleaning the windshields of customers cars. However, I always enjoyed building stuff, and renovating. This past Summer, I replaced the front verandah on our house, and by the time I was finished, I pretty much knew that this would be my last major project. From now on, someone else will have to do it. As the song goes, you gotta know when to fold 'em. So tonight I went out into my "man cave" and set up this little image that is a "parting shot" to my old tools....they helped keep me somewhat balanced financially and mentally as well over the years.....I think!! Hope you enjoy.....
